Thank you for the straight question.
I am a Baha'i for 50 years, but I dare not claim that I know the Baha'i religion which was founded since 1844.
While former Manifestations of the One True God, each revealed only one Holy Book, Baha'u'llah, the Founder of the Baha'i Faith, revealed more than one hundred Holy Books for the whole humanity in the millennia to come, therefore it may take more generations in the future to claim to be knowledgeable.
As by now, I see some of following good points in the Baha'i Faith:
It is united, with one Name (Baha'i) and one Administration under the Universal House of Justice in Haifa, Israel.
It respects all former Manifestations of God.
It supports independent investigation of truth for all believers. There is no priesthood to do the preaching; all responsibilities in the religious institutions at local, national and international levels are taken by elected believers without any salaries. Elected members have no individual power over other believers. Believers follow the instructions of the institutions and not of individuals.
The Baha'is live normally among other people without any forms or rituals to distinguish themselves to the rest of the world. Because of this reason and because of the Name Baha'i which is not translated into other languages, it is a liitle difficult for mankind to see its existence. You can approach any Baha'i Center in your city to get the literature for your consideration. You can also get more information at the following Website:

I'm catholic myself, but for several years I lived next door to a family from Iran who were Baha'i. They were a nice family and good ambassadors for their faith. I think the Baha'i is a faith which seeks to combine the good and peaceful elements of all the major religions. The world would be a better place if everyone would do the same.

They are a bunch following the cult of a person named Bahá'u'lláh from 19th century Persia who claimed to be "Messiah".
